SAW-SETTING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION 'forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,201, datedFebruary 16, 1886.

Application filed December 12, 1885. Serial No. 165,529. (Xo model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL BEHMER, of Santa Rosa, Sonoma county, Stateof California, have invented an Improvement in Saw- Sets; and I herebydeclare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of thesame.

My invention relates to that class of sawsets in which an adjustableresto is provided for the saw-blade, and an adjustable gage defines theposition of its teeth under the hammer; and my invention consists in theimprovements hereinafter described, in the manner of mounting the restand fixing it wherever adjusted, in the means foradjusting and holdingsaid rest at any desired angle, and in the construction and means foradjusting the toothlimiting gage.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and effectivesaw-set.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective Viewof my saw-set. Fig. 2 is a Vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is adetail section showing the bearingplate f. g

A is the body or stock ofthe tool, having a tenon, a, on its lower end,adapting it to be mounted or seated in any suitable support. In theupper front portion of thestock is made a transverse groove,forming aledge, B, in the center of Which the anvil b is located.

C is the hammer, seated in the socket-ed top of the stock. Aspring (nothere shown) returns the hammer, which is limited by a crosspin, c.

In the stock is made a slot, D, through the upper portion of whichpasses the stem or shank e of the rest E. This stem slides back andforth freely through the slot, being prevented from moving completelyout by asmall lip, e', on its rear end. The rest Eis fitted in theposition desired by means of a set-screw, F, through the side of thestock, which bears againsta small plate, f, seated loosely inside andbinding against the stem e, so that the screw is prevented from marringit.

Pivoted in the slot D by the pin g is a cam or bell-crank lever, G, theupper arm of which bears under and supports the stem ofthe rest E,which, however, moves freely back and forth upon it. Through the back ofthe stock is let a thumb-screw, H, which bears against the rear of thedow'wardly-extending arm of the cam or lever G. By operating this screwthe upper arm of the lever raises and lowers the rest E through anydesired length ofaro, and supports and holds it at any desired angle,and by reason of the full and long support which this upper arm affordssaid rest is held at the same angle, no matter how far fromor how closeto the body of the stock it may be Set.

l is a limiting-gage, consisting of two divergent feet, i, moving on theledge B of the stock on each side of theanvil, and uniting in a singlethreaded stem, 12', which passes back through the stock in an extension,a', made with it.

On the stem i' is a thumb-nut, J, which is housed by the extension a' ofthe stock, its milled rim being exposed in the same manner as in theordinary monkey-wrench adjustment.

The operation of my saw-set is as follows: The set-screw F beingloosened, the rest E is drawn out to the distance required for theproper width of blade to be operated upon. Then while said screw isstill loose thethumbscrew H below is operated, and the rest is raisedorlowered to the desired angle. While the cam-lever positively raises therest, the latter moves by its own weight in lowering as the lever isfreed from the impingement of screw H. When the desired angle has beenreached, the set-screw F is turned up, so that the bearing-plate f bindsthe stem of the rest and holds it in proper position, being furthersupported on the upper arm of the lever. Then the thumb-nut J isoperated to set the gage I, and the tool is ready to be used.

It will be observed that the rest E and the lever G are both held inposition by the single pivot-pin g, which passes through the lever, andthe rest cannot be taken out from the stock Without first removing thispin, which, however, when removed, will allow all the parts to be takenout for repairs or the substitution of others.

I am aware that in saw-sets of this nature it is not new to provide arest which is adjustable both to and from the stock, and also through anare to the desired angle, nor is it new to provide a limiting-gageoperated by a screw; and I do not therefore claim these fea- IOO tures,broadly, but limit myself to the exact construction and mechanismwhereby I am enabled to make a very simple and at the same time a veryeffective tool. f

Instead ofthe vertically-moving spring-hammer which I have shown,lcauuse other forms equally as well knowu-sueh, for example, as the'swinginghammer.

Havingthus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In' a saw-set, the slotted stock A, having an anvil and a hammer, incombination with the saw-blade rest E, having a stem, e, passing throughthe slotted stock, and the means by which said rest is adjusted to anydesired angle, consisting of the bell-crank or cam lever G. pivoted insaid slotted stock, and bearing with its upper arm under the stein ofthe rest, and the thumb-screw H, bearing against the lower arm ofthelever, substantially as herein described.

2. In a saw-set. theslotted stock A, having an anvil and a hammer, incombination with the saw-blade rest E, having a stem passing looselythrough said slotted stock, wherebyit can be adjusted to and from thestocl ,thesetscrew F, for holding said rest in the position to which itis adjusted, the pivoted bell-crank orcam lever G in said stocksupporting the rest and bearing with its upper aim-'under its stem, andthe thumb-screw H, bearing against the lower arm of the lever,whereby'said lever is caused to raise or lower the rest to any angledesired, substantially as herein described.

3. The combination.l with the stock A, having the slot D, anvil b,hammer O, and tailpiece a', ofthe rest E, having lip e', and stem e, theset-screw F, and platef, the bell-crank p G, having pivot g, theadjusting screw H, and the gage I, having feet i, screw-stern 21', and

nut J, all constructed and arranged to operate DANIEL BEHM-ER.
